I witnessed the Friday and Saturday flying display of the Red Arrows. The 24 minute display was a sight that no other flying team could have produced. It was therefore of great sadness to learn that one of the team, Red 4, had crash landed short of Bournemouth Airport. I was aware that something was amiss when the Coastguard passed me as I made my way home. I then discovered that there had been a tragic accident. I would not be so foolish as to pre-empt any investigation findings but would say that if the reports that Flt Lt Egging died as a result of consideration for his fellow human beings then we must all feel very humble. My thoughts are with his family at this time and hope his passing will not be the source of speculation and rumour so favoured by our nations press.

Something different
Some evening flying is also taking place as well as fireworks on Friday.
Therefore posts may be a little light if good weather prevails.
The Vulcan should fly on Saturday and Sunday and for me there is no better aerial sight.
This is a shot from a couple of years ago, last years display was ruined by poor weather-They say come to sunny Bournemouth but they don't tell you when!
